Senior Platform & DevOps Engineer
I build the infrastructure layer that lets product teams ship with speed, confidence, and zero firefighting. Cloud platforms, Kubernetes, developer tooling — from first principles to production scale.
Across AWS, Azure, and GCP — designing infrastructure that is observable, recoverable, and developer-friendly.
Stabilizing, scaling, and operating production Kubernetes clusters with advanced scheduling, autoscaling, and GitOps-driven delivery.
Building self-service IDPs with Backstage — software catalogs, golden path templates, and scaffolded onboarding that reduce toil for engineering teams.
Full-stack observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK. Built read-only AI agents that autonomously diagnose live incidents — reducing MTTR without human escalation.
Self-hosting and operating Apache Kafka (via Strimzi) and Cassandra clusters at scale. Integrating with AWS MSK and Keyspaces for hybrid event-streaming architectures.
Designing and executing on-prem-to-cloud migrations, multi-account AWS foundations, VPN/Direct Connect hybrid networks, and disaster recovery strategies.
Building repeatable, multi-environment pipelines with Terraform, Terragrunt, and Ansible. GitOps-first delivery with ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps.
A selection of high-impact projects and the measurable results they produced.
Led the full architectural redesign and migration of a high-traffic flight booking system from EC2 to Kubernetes on EKS. Redesigned the deployment model, introduced health checks with Liveness and Readiness probes, and implemented Karpenter for node autoscaling — transforming Tramango into Nigeria's fastest online travel agency.
Designed and implemented a warm standby disaster recovery architecture for a startup operating in a high-availability travel industry. Automated replication procedures, encoded the entire DR strategy in infrastructure-as-code, and ran tabletop exercises with executive stakeholders — ultimately becoming a key factor in securing investor confidence for a $5M funding round.
Built a read-only AI agent integrated with CloudWatch logs, pod states, metrics, and distributed traces. The agent autonomously analyses live production incidents, surfaces root causes, and suggests remediation steps — all without requiring write access or human escalation as a first step. Directly reduced MTTR across multiple client environments.
Established a full Internal Developer Platform using Backstage, including a service catalog, golden path scaffolding templates, and automated environment provisioning workflows. Reduced onboarding time for new engineers, standardised infrastructure patterns, and eliminated the "ask the platform team" bottleneck for common infrastructure tasks.
Deployed and operated production-grade Apache Kafka clusters via the Strimzi operator and Apache Cassandra for distributed, low-latency workloads — all running on Kubernetes. Managed topic replication, partition strategies, compaction, and token-aware replication. Also integrated AWS MSK and Keyspaces for teams preferring managed services in hybrid architectures.
Built Terraform and Terragrunt-based infrastructure automation frameworks used across 30+ client environments. Standardised multi-account AWS foundations with Control Tower, automated provisioning of VPC architectures, EKS clusters, and RDS instances — eliminating manual provisioning errors and reducing infrastructure provisioning time by over 60%.
Leading cloud migrations, Kubernetes platform engineering, IDP development with Backstage, self-hosted Kafka and Cassandra operations, and AI-powered ops tooling for enterprise clients across AWS, Azure, and IBM environments.
Engaged with 30+ clients across diverse industries, delivering AWS Well-Architected reviews, serverless migrations, RAG systems on Bedrock, and multi-account AWS foundations with Control Tower and Organizations.
Spearheaded cloud infrastructure foundation, EC2-to-EKS migration, disaster recovery strategy, and CI/CD automation. Contributed directly to a $5M Series A funding round by demonstrating operational maturity.
Built production-grade payment backend in Django, led migration to Amazon ECS, developed CI/CD pipelines with AWS native tools, and created monitoring solutions tracking 200+ operational metrics.
Whether you're modernising a legacy system, scaling a Kubernetes platform, or want to discuss how an Internal Developer Platform could transform your engineering team — I'm open to conversations.
